Pressure transducers, headset sockets

I’ve been reading the installation instructions for the PMAGs, and realised that I needed to route a manifold pressure line to each. This meant Teeing 2 separate lines in addition to the manifold pressure line to the transducer. The easiest way was to move the Vans transducer mounting block from the left side to the right, and use the spare NPT threaded ports to split the lines. I then moved the bulkhead fitting for the manifold pressure transducer across the the left side. I’ll get two more lines made for the oil/fuel pressure transducers. This has resulted in a neater setup overall.

I still wasn’t completely happy with the wing root panels and the positions of the fuel sight gauges. This afternoon I changed the layout to give everything more room, and made the sockets on separate mounting panels to the sight gauges. I was then able to proceed with finishing the sockets, and also the ELT.
